BBFC Cuts R

Rabbit Fever

Uncut but as the film contains no violence, no nudity and little sex beyond that implied by the title and references to sex toys, then the distributors felt that 18 was unnecessarily restrictive. They asked the BBFC to reconsider but the BBFC declined with the following statement:

This determination was formally reconsidered by the BBFC at the request of the submitting company. The BBFC carefully considered the arguments put forward by the submitting company and looked again at the relevant submitted material, but concluded that its original determination was appropriate. The BBFC did, however, amend the consumer advice.

The Director's Cut was passed 18 without BBFC cuts for:

• UK Allied Troma VHS
• UK 1990 Virgin VHS

From IMDB:

This is the director Emmanuel Kervyn's preferred cut. Some gorier scenes were shot at the time of production, but in the end, Kervyn chose not to include them in the film itself. Troma did include them as a bonus feature.

The German producers have since reinserted, against the director's wishes, said scenes in sales to other countries. See pictorial cuts details from movie-censorship.com

Review from US Amazon: Solid action entertainment

Wow! Ring of Fire 2 takes an entirely different route than the original. The first instalment was a Romeo and Juliet type of romance set against a backdrop of a cross-culture martial arts fued. Don The Dragon Wilson was the romantic lead and left most of the fight scenes to his capable co-stars.

The sequel, on the other hand, is a non-stop action film. Don, reprising his role of Johnny, and his buddies go underground (literally!) in search of the gang leader who kidnapped his fiance (Maria Ford, reprising her role- but with a different hair color!).

The plot is totally contrived, but this is just such a likable knucklehead of a movie that it's hard not to like it. Don the Dragon gets plenty of fight scenes this time around. Wise move. Ring of Fire 2 is solid action entertainment. Just remember to leave your I.Q. at the door and you'll love it.

See article from bbc.co.uk:

When Rambo III was submitted to the board in the late 80s two previous Rambo films had each received the 15 certificate. But between parts two and three, the Hungerford massacre - when Michael Ryan killed 16 people with an assortment of guns - had made firearms and violence front-page news in Britain. The attitude of BBFC showed the way it responds to public opinion.

As a result of events in Hungerford, as one examiner wrote: This silly, rather enjoyable movie is likely to be a political red-hot potato. The problem was that Rambo III seemed to be almost non-stop gunfire. It's not so much what is shown, but how much and how relentlessly.

The examiners fell into an intense debate over whether to grant the film the same 15 certificate as its predecessors (albeit with cuts), or the more adult 18 reflecting the heightened sensitivities around gun use.

Public disquiet is at a height. It is naive to believe that we can always act without regard to political realities. Indeed I would go further and argue that it's irresponsible. The film was released with an 18 certificate after cuts.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: Distributor chose to remove explicit sexual detail

Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased): Painkillers

Cut by 2s in 2002 with the BBFC comment: Distributor chose to cut dangerous imitable technique in order to gain a '12'. A '15' uncut was available to the distributor.

Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased): Paranoia

Cut by 1s in 2001 with the BBFC comment: Distributor chose to cut dangerous imitable technique in order to gain a '12'. A '15' uncut was available to the distributor.

Rang De Basanti

• Paint it Yellow
• Colour of Sacrifice

The film was re-edited in 2007 for another cinema release and no cuts were required

The first team of examiners believed that a ‘15’ would be required to cover the violence and theme. This decision was appealed by the distributors who felt that the film’s theme was essentially a patriotic one, intended to educate and entertain young people.

The film was viewed again by a second team that included the Director and Head of Policy who agreed that the contextual and moral tone allowed for a generous interpretation of the Guidelines but that a ‘12A’ could be offered only if cuts were made to the final shoot-out that provided more emphasis on violence and bloody impacts than is usual at that category. The film was subsequently cut for ‘12A’,

Review from US Amazon: Highly recommended

No matter how many times I watch this movie, it never seems to get old. Combining elements of American action shoot 'em ups with the chop-socky combat of the Hong Kong martial arts genre, Rapid Fire seems bent on squeezing as many action sequences as possible into its brisk 90-minute running time.

However, in between fight scenes, the writers and director actually take time for little things like plot and character development, which are too often lacking in martial arts flicks (can you say Steven Seagal)? The main characters, Brandon Lee's reluctant crime fighter and Powers Boothe's grizzled cop, actually have some beliefs and internal conflicts that motivate their actions. And on top of that, there are some actors in this movie who can actually act!

In the action department, the fight scenes are extremely well done, devoid of camera tricks, multiple angles, fancy directing, or any other gimmicks that distract from the fight scenes themselves. It seems the makers of this film knew what they had in Brandon Lee and let him and the other actors carry the action on their own, a decision that definitely paid off.

Highly recommended for those who want a little brains to go with their action.

Review from US Amazon: Fantastic

I saw this film in Greece, and I'm sure that the American version is probably a little softer than the European (original cut). But I'm not too sure. This film is fantastic! I cant stress that enough. the cinematography... and just the overall satirical and witty premise of the film is worth watching. I think I'm going to make a t-shirt that says: "Masturbation is Counter-Revolutionary!" This movie is so smart...

Real Outlaws

Pre-cut when (re)submitted in 2007 with the following BBFC comment: An earlier version of this work was submitted to the BBFC and compulsory cuts were required to remove gratuitous and detailed images of a public execution and a violent lynching. These cuts were required...on the grounds that such images may cause harm by encouraging the development of callous attitudes among members of the likely audience.

This earlier version of the work was subsequently withdrawn from the classification process by its distributor. The present version, which has been re-edited throughout, was pre-cut prior to submission to remove those elements to which the BBFC had requested cuts.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: Cuts required to potentially harmful and obscene material (in this case waving a flaming torch over a woman's genital area; extinguishing a large candle by inserting it between a woman's buttocks; and dripping hot wax onto a woman's genitals), on the grounds of potential harm

The BBFC have waived all 3 previous cuts for violence (saw attack, decapitation and the bloody head being squeezed) but have retained significant cuts to the headless rape sequence. In implementing the cuts required by the BBFC, the distributors have again cut more material than is strictly necessary.

• The following 28s scene was cut in line with BBFC policy on sexual violence: Megan's reanimated father rips off her blouse as she lies on a table in the lab. Her breasts are exposed, much to the delight of the decapitated head of Dr Hill beside her, who before parting company with his body, indicated that he fancied her. There is then a full length nude shot , complete with pubic hair, as Megan is bound by the wrists and ankles. The BBFC judged that Megan was in a drugged state and that the activity is clearly non-consensual.
• After a short sequence of conversation elsewhere, we return to Megan to find the headless corpse massaging her breasts. Following this, the head is held over her to kiss her ear and breast, leaving blood on the latter. The woman is screaming and clearly suffering sexual violence, whereas the head is clearly deriving sexual pleasure. There is certainly no sense of the assault being enjoyed by the woman here. However, the Board felt that in the scenes of breast or full nudity there was much in the activity to titillate. The cuts were implemented as a 10s cut and then a 1:11s cut allowing some of the intervening material to remain.

The BBFC explained their cuts:

The Board still believes that this scene offers a sexual frisson, in a context of non-consensual assault, that could be harmful to some viewers. Contrary to the suggestion that this scene has received cuts through 'taste' rather than legal considerations, the cuts were in fact required under the terms of the Video Recordings Act, which legally obliges the Board to have special regard "to any harm that may be caused to potential viewers or, through their behaviour, to society as a whole by the manner in which the work deals with... horrific behaviour or incidents... [or] human sexual activity" (VRA Section 4A (1)). Sexual violence is an area of particular concern for the Board, being the one area where a clear link has been drawn, through research, between on-screen depictions of eroticised assault and the behaviour of some viewers. The Board is therefore 'legally' obliged to intervene with any depictions of sexual assault "where the portrayal eroticises or endorses sexual assault" (BBFC Guidelines) because of the 'harm' that might arise from such depictions. Obviously Re-animator will not lead to a spate of attacks on women by decapitated heads but the scene's general association of non-consensual sex with titilatory aspects may be arousing to some individuals and thus be a cause of potential 'harm' within the legal sense.

The first and last cuts were waived (the attack with the saw and the bloody head being squeezed). However, the two other previous cuts (to the close shot of the shovel cutting the neck and the sexual attack) were maintained.

The cut to the sexual assault was, however, made differently - and less effectively - by the distributors, who chose to remove the ENTIRE second half of the sequence, rather than simply edit out the unacceptable portions of it. This was in fact the distributor's choice and was not directed by the BBFC.

The 33s cut to the forcible stripping was maintained but this time 1:49s were cut to remove the entire bodiless head sequence (rather than making two separate shorter cuts as happened previously). As a result, this version was cut by a total of 2 minutes 21 seconds. It therefore appeared to have been more heavily cut, even though cuts had in fact been waived! The matter is also slightly further fogged by the fact that this submission was telecined at a completely different speed (slower), making the cuts appear slightly longer than they actually were, but only by about 7 seconds.

1. 7s is deleted from West's (Jeffrey Coombs) killing of a zombie in the morgue, ie a close-up of a man being run through with a bone saw. is missing to reduce sight of blood flowing down naked body.
2. The decapitation scene loses a 5s close shot of shovel cutting into Dr Hill's neck after his head is bashed from behind. (a long shot also removed voluntarily by the distributors).
3. The headless rape scene offended the censors. It is missing 33s of Megan Halsey (Barbara Crampton) being stripped and having her arms and legs strapped down. Cuts of 19s and then 43s removed all sight of her nude body strapped to trolley and also the Dr Hill's severed head attempting oral sex including the disembodied head sticking its tongue in Megan's ear, kissing her breasts and a shot of the head between her legs.
4. 3s has been deleted from a shot of West's head being squeezed and zombie eyes bleeding.

Re-Animator 2

• Bride of Re-Animator

Uncut version is available at:

The US release is uncut and MPAA Unrated for:

• US 2003 50th Street R1 DVD via UK Amazon and at US Amazon

Summary Review: A fair stab

Making a sequel looks to be a hopeless task, as the first film clearly tied itself up as a self-contained film, but while it requires a bit of suspension of disbelief from the viewer the script for Bride of Re-Animator does a tremendous job just managing to reunite most of the cast from the first film (half of whom appeared to have died at the end it) without completely throwing away the continuity of the first film.

The first half of the film is rather slow and boring, with only West's bizarre experiments in joining together odd combinations of body parts providing any entertainment. The ending is fantastic however, with a climax that rivals the ending of the first film for sheer over the top insanity, as West and eternal unwilling sidekick Dan Cain find themselves under siege from the now bat-winged head of Doctor Hill, his re-animated zombies, the bricked-up earlier failed experiments of West and of course the bride of re-animator herself...

Nowhere near as bad as it's reputation, Bride of Re-Animator is a fair stab at a very difficult sequel.

Reign Over Me

Passed 15 uncut for:

• UK 2007 Sony R2 DVD
• UK 2007 cinema release

From IMDb:

A scene removed from the UK version of the film is the montage of scenes with Angela Oakhurst (Liv Tyler) consoling Charlie Fineman (Adam Sandler) with the original version of Love, Reign o'er me playing in the background.

The BBFC certified running time suggests an uncut version. Perhaps it was cut after it was submitted to the BBFC

See Deception

The BBFC cut the 2008 Tongue In Cheek DVD by 53s. Cuts for requested 18 required to remove explicit sexual detail (cunnilingus and penetration by dildo and penis). An R18 uncut was available to the distributor.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: Distributor required to remove all sight of website addresses which occur together with suggestion that goods can be bought from them, which may constitute an offer to supply R18 level material by mail order.

Remember Me

Passed 12 after BBFC suggested cuts were implemented for a 12/12A rating for:

• UK 2010 E1 Online
• UK 2010 E1 DVD/Blu-ray
• UK 2010 E1 R2 DVD
• UK 2010 cinema release

The BBFC commented:

This film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the company that the film was likely to receive a 15 classification but that the requested 12A certificate could be achieved by making cuts in two sequences. The company were asked to remove a strong verbal sex reference (to being sodomised') and to reduce a scene of strong violence in which the hero continues to beat a man who has already been knocked to the ground. When the finished version of the was submitted, these changes has been made and the film was classified '12A.

Remember the Titans

The BBFC passed the Theatrical Version PG without cuts for the 2001 cinema release and 2001 Buena Vista DVD/Blu-ray

The Ren & Stimpy Show - Fake Dad

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: Cut required to remove a sequence in which the subject of hanging is presented as comedic, fun and risk free, on the grounds of potential harm to the likely audience

Ren & Stimpy Show
Seasons 1 & 2: Out West

Cut when submitted in 2006 with the following BBFC statement: Cut required to remove a sequence in which the subject of hanging is presented as comedic, fun and risk free, on the grounds of potential harm to the likely audience.

The BBFC have incorrectly listed the cuts under the episode, Fake Dad

Thanks to David from www.lyris-lite.net where full details of the cuts are described:

A pre-cut version was submitted with cuts inflicted for TV running time reasons. The entire Hanging Song sequence as illustrated below has been deleted by the BBFC

The American version called Ren & Stimpy Uncut ended up being cut, but the cuts were there by accident because the people mastering the discs used master tapes that had been cut to make room for commercials on American TV. The cuts on the US discs are mainly long-running scenes, not cuts for content.

But the British discs look like they've been made from these already time-cut masters and then had the BBFC's handiwork applied... it's not going to be pleasant.

I've been working with the creator of the show (John Kricfalusi) and the DVD mastering team to identify all of the cuts to the US version to get them all restored for a future Ultimate Ren & Stimpy
DVD box set.

Update: The BBFC have just responded to a fairly lengthy questioning regarding these issues which has been posted on  www.lyris-lite.net

See review from IMDb:  Highly recommended

No one would be expecting a meaningful social commentary from a film with this title, but please bear in mind when watching that this a Jean Rollin film, so don't expect a meaningful story either. My guess is that you're probably expecting some mad nonsense with kinky lesbian vampires. You won't be disappointed. This is mad, it has kinky lesbians and they're vampires. Happy days!

It's quite light hearted for a Rollin flick and is at the fast end of his snail like pacing, but that isn't saying much on either count. It's no Daughters of Darkness either, so don't try to make sense of it, you'll end up as bonkers as Rollin.

Instead laugh at crap vampires and revel in the kink fest in the dungeon. It's bloody great and is a bona fide Eurotrash classic. Highly recommended.

The US release is uncut and MPAA R Rated for:

• US 2007 Lions Gate 15th Anniversary Edition R! Blu-ray at US Amazon

Based on article from sbbfc.co.uk:

The work was submitted in 1993 for its home video classification, but the video release would be delayed until 1995 because of the introduction of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Bill in 1993 and its lengthy passage through Parliament.

In response to concerns about the effects of media violence, largely in the wake of the James Bulger murder in 1993, part of the Bill's remit was to make amendments to the Video Recordings Act 1984, under which the BBFC had been appointed as the statutory regulatory body for video. It also established within the VRA a specific harm test. This harm test required the BBFC to pay special regard (among the other relevant factors) to any harm that may be caused to potential viewers or, through their behaviour, to society by the manner in which the work deals with [such issues as] criminal behaviour [and] violent behaviour and incidents.

Reservoir Dogs was finally granted an uncut 18 video certificate in May 1995, a considerable time after its video release in all the other major international markets, which did not prove too disconcerting for Tarantino who was reported to be delighted that the delay had given the film an extended theatrical life in the UK.

Overall, I think that this is a great movie when you judge it for what it was. An action movie with a lot of fight scenes and it doesn't pretend to be anything else.

Both Piper and Chiba were great in the fight scenes, and had the script although could have been a bit better, wasn't actually that bad.

Review from imdb: Give it a Chance

Amando de Ossorio-this Portugese director was responsible for several zombie movies in the early 70's.

This is another horror picture about undead Templar Knights. Some of the ideas are laughable and the ending is weak.

Despite of these faults this film is still entertaining. The plot is interesting, the location sets are nice and there's also a little bit of blood. I loved especially the-young-girl-between-the-living-dead sequence.

Give this movie a chance.

Return of the Overfiend: Episode 4

Cuts as described by a BBFC examiner:

Take the 'Rape of Elektor' sequence we cut from Overfiend 4. This is a scene of sustained anal and oral rape, mutilation and much worse in which the woman is crying repeatedly for the demons to stop. When you show somebody a scene like this there is often very little argument whether we should censor it or not. There may well be an audience which is mature enough to watch this and appreciate and understand the scene in the way the filmmakers intended. But our concern is that this is presented in a very titillating manner which is not appropriate for an audience in their mid-teens. There is no sense of horror or disgust at what the woman is going through; the way it is shot and designed invites the audience to take pleasure from the scene. And scenes like this --multiple rape, gang rape, sexualised violence --are about all we ever cut from anime. If there was a scene like this in a live action film, we would probably hand it over to the police.

Summary Review: Lost Classic

An influential work that may be the pinnacle of the American ninja genre.

A legendary ninja Cho Osaki (Sho Kosugi) is forced to flee Japan when all of his family bar his infant son and his Mother are mercilessly executed. Arriving in America Cho looks to establish a new life for his and his family and settle down. But when a string of mysterious murders point towards Cho his ninja identity is compromised and he discovers that he is being hunted by a deadly enemy.

There are some great stunts from Sho who in one chase scene is hanging on to the back of a van and takes a nasty tumble to the climax of the film, the great skyscraper roof-top duel with his American partner; this scene is probably responsible for a lot of fans claiming it to be the best Ninja film ever made.

pre-cut

• UK 1986 VCI VHS

From IMDb:

The US VHS cut scenes include:

• In the opening scene when Sho Kosugi's family is murdered, a ninja throws a star at his older son. As he falls, you see a close-up of the star stuck in his head.
• When Sho Kosugi stabs Brayden in the stomach, blood spurts out for about a good 5-10 seconds before Sho slices his mask in half.
• Towards the end, when Brayden (evil ninja) hears someone in the stairwell. In the cut version, all you see is Brayden open the door and throw a smoke bomb. The un-cut version has the scene followed by Brayden slicing up both men, including cutting off one of their hands.
• The last cut scene is when Brayden comes down through the ceiling and stabs two guards in the head with mini-spears.

The BBFC added their usual cuts at the time for martial arts weaponry:

• Among the footage removed were all shots of throwing stars and nunchakus,
• plus additional cuts to kicks and blows
• a deleted blowpipe scene
• a deleted fight in the gymnasium.

From the running time it appears that the final result is similar to the cinema version as cut just by the BBFC.

• US 2008 Dark Sky R1 DVD via UK Amazon and at US Amazon

See review from IMDb: Entertaining and schlocky

Christopher Mitchum is Ricco, a pretty boy with a blonde fringe fresh out of prison who sets out to avenge the death of his father, who was murdered 2 years ago in by his competitor in the Italian mafia underworld, Don Vito. As if that wasn't enough, slick Don Vito even stole his girl-friend.

Don Vito is a slick Italian mafia boss type with a moustache. He owns a soap factory, says stuff like don't you know by now I hate soap... and men that sweat and turns his own men into it when they fail him. If you sleep with his sultry girl-friend you get castrated in graphic detail, fed your own penis then you're thrown in a tank full of acid (that's how he turns people into soap).

Now for the sleaze. It comes in the form of the drop dead gorgeous Euro babes Barbara Bouchet and Malisa Longo. We get get close ups of Bouchet's ass and breasts while she walks, she has a striptease scene on the hood of a car, she's lucky enough to bed Ricco and is her all around cute self. Longo in the role of Don Vito's girlfriend spends most of the movie scantily clad and seduces Don Vito's underling in a very sexy scene.

The first half of the movie is so delightfully cheesy that I kept wondering where's Joe Bob Briggs when you need him. The second one is more gritty and sadistic with a graphic castration scene and lots of gunplay. The sleaze has a steady presence throughout and so does the silly dialogue.

Ricco is by no means a profound crime drama but it's entertaining and schlocky enough to warrant a viewing or two. Fans of 70's Italian crime b-movies will lap it up and ask for more.

See review from IMDb: Mindless action

Despite the fact that this is just yet another mindless kung-fu action movie, isn't that part of the culture of the late 80s early 90s? It is a snapshot of American culture and dreams in that time era. The movie centers around two kick boxing gangs, what more do you want? Cheesy plot outline, mindless action that makes you wish you could fight like that, and a predictable ending with a cool training sequence. All of the ingredients that made us love movies like Rocky.

I think movie goers should lighten up and enjoy these kind of films more. Even though they aren't through provoking, not every movie can be, it still entertains you if you have a light heart going in.

Riot is a good action film about Jim Brown and Gene Hackman staging a riot in prison in order to allow a distraction so they can escape through underground tunnels.

Brown and Hackman are great in this and the suspense of the last 30 minutes is killer! I rank this one up there with Escape From Alcatraz. A must see for all fans of escapism movies.

The BBFC originally cut down the hand amputation for cinema but now feel that they did not cut enough as judged by the number of complaints received from parents. On the video release, the distributors removed all of the build up to the amputation as it was felt that the anticipation of the act causes a lot of the terror. All details of the hand after amputation has also been excised.

1. The hand amputation scene in the introduction has been massively reduced
2. The Sheriff twisting the sword in a victim's belly is missing the twist.
3. Dialogue is missing, where a disciple of the Sheriff is lewdly provoking Marian: I have never seen the breasts of a noble lady before
4. Dialogue edited, Christian Slater's cry of Fuck me, he made it to Blimey, he made it when Robin swings onto the battlements.
5. A sequence where the Sheriff is spreading Marian's legs trying to take her in the wedding scene has been removed.

Summary Review: Robo Cop Meets Charlie's Angels

A science fiction, action, adult comedy is a definite beer and snacks movie. Although it may not be to everybody's taste, it's a fun movie for the most part (as is the case with many HK films, the humour can border on the tasteless).

The basic premise of the film is that a rather fetching and sexy lady agent has her mind transferred into the body of a robot following a shooting, thus becoming the ultimate sexy super-hero. Imagine Robocop meets Charlie's Angels with an adult touch and you've got the idea!

And Amy Yip is hot!

The Rock caused grief at the BBFC as follows:

Sean Connery was adapting his violent talents to the modern mode, throwing knives, breaking necks and spraying bullets into the feet of opposing soldiers in the action adventure The Rock, which was cut by 15s to preserve its 15 on video. Since violent blows are brief, cuts to remove them can be brief but their excision makes a significant difference, It would be interesting to speculate why screen heroes of the nineties have become so coldly callous. One day, perhaps the question may be answered by social historians, but it is a trend that sits rather oddly with Britain's new culture of compassion.

The BBFC cuts were:

1. Confrontation in the morgue where John Patric Mason (Sean Connery) knife-throwing into a soldier's neck is totally eliminated, along with the line 'you must never hesitate'.
2. Connery shooting a guard in the foot is trimmed.
3. A 2 second zoom of the above soldier when the generator falls on him after Mason shoots it.
4. Connery breaking a guard's neck loses the sound of the breaking.
5. The gun battle near the end has been trimmed for blood letting, when Major Tom Baxter (David Morse) gets shot in the stomach and General Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris) receives a hit to his left shoulder.

Review from US Amazon: The Enduring Ramones

Forget about Britney Spears and Mandy Moore's brand of bubblegum pop music and their equally bland movies - they don't hold a candle to the unbridled power of those punk rockers from New York City, the Ramones!

From B-movie veterans like Paul (Eating Raoul) Bartel and Mary (Death Race 2000) Woronov to newcomers (at the time), P.J. (Halloween) Soles and Dey (Strange Invaders) Young, the entire cast has a lot of fun spouting the film's wonderfully inspired cornball dialogue (If you don't like it, you can put it where the monkey puts the nuts.). The Ramones are good sports and mumble their way through the film and truly coming alive during the music sequences. The movie rightfully cements their reputation as legends.

Rock n Roll High School embodies the essence of the punk rock music that made the Ramones famous. The film is bursting with youthful energy, a dose of good ol' fashion anarchy and is loads of fun to watch. These are also the ingredients that made Rock n Roll High School a cult film. It was a commercial and critical failure upon its initial release but repeated midnight screenings, coupled with steady appearances on TV, have helped the film endure over the years.

R Rated

The BBFC explained their 15 rating:

ROLE MODELS is a comedy about two energy drink salesmen who get in trouble with the law but are given the opportunity to avoid jail by performing community service as 'big brother' mentors to a pair of problem kids. The film was classified '15' for strong language and crude sexual references.

Numerous uses of strong language go beyond what is allowed by the Guidelines at '12A' which state that 'The use of strong language (eg 'fuck') must be infrequent', but present no problems at '15' where the Guidelines allow for 'frequent use of strong language'. The film presents various verbal and visual sex references, including occasional female breast nudity, which are strong and sometimes crude, and which occur in the comic context of two grown - but somewhat immature - men who are asked to deal with the natural immaturity of two young boys. Their comments between themselves and with the two children have some emphasis on sexual matters and rely on a degree of crude bad taste for their comic impact. However, the Guidelines at '15' allow for 'strong verbal references to sexual behaviour' and also for nudity in a sexual context provided it does not contain 'strong detail'. There is also a scene in which the audience sees a crude line drawing, made by one of the boys (a ten-year-old), of a male figure with an exaggeratedly erect penis and a woman with comically large breasts. The detail in the drawing has no anatomical accuracy and is only on screen for a few seconds.

The film also contains several references to drug misuse and one scene in which a joint is being smoked. The references are made by a character who has actually recovered from her drug habit and is now trying to help wayward children. Her comments have a certain self-regarding tone (Sure, I could be doing cocaine, but the kids come first) which is intended as part of the film's comedy, but they carry a clear anti-drugs message.

Summary Review: Outright mayhem

Returning war hero  William Devane receives a generous local gift during ceremonies in his Texas hometown. Later on, a bunch of good old boys come to rob him of the gift. They torture him and off his family in the process.

The remaining 70 or so minutes of the film detail Devane's search for the killers and his revenge. He takes up with a lonely woman during the search while teaching himself to use a shotgun with his new mechanical hand (he lost the real one in the torture-robbery-murder back home.)

Anyone that likes either of the main actors (Wiiliam Devane or Tommy Lee Jones), high class violence, or revenge films will enjoy this movie.

Review from US Amazon: Such a Good Film

As you may or may not know, here in the UK we're not allowed to show scenes of "hardcore" pornography, on the grounds that they're titillating and corrupting. For the first time in history, the censors have let a film contain such scenes, and that film is Romance.

The point is, of course, that the scenes aren't titillating- in fact, they are quite horrifying in places. The whole film is a journey into the dark side of female sexuality, and (speaking as a heterosexual male) it can become highly disturbing.

The plot, briefly: our heroine is told that her boyfriend loves her but doesn't want to have sex with her. In emotional turmoil, she has a series of sexual encounters, increasingly degrading and bizarre, as she tries to find a link between her twin needs for sexual satisfaction and emotional fulfilment.

Excellent cinematography and a bleak script; by far the best film I saw last year, and probably the best I'll see again this year.

• UK 2000 Blue Light R2 DVD

From cuts details on IMDb:

Although the BBFC passed the film uncut for British cinemas, they required 1 second to be removed from the video version. The cut to the UK video and DVD versions removed a brief close-up of a man ejaculating onto a woman's stomach. This occurs at the end of a fantasy brothel sequence, and is followed by a jump-cut to a similar shot of ultra-sound gel being squirted onto Caroline Trousselard's stomach. Without the first shot, however, the effect is lost in the UK version.

Review from IMDb: Overlooked

The Prowler is an overlooked horror film from that golden age of slasher films of the late 70s and early 80s. The film is directed by Joseph Zito who has special effects wizard Tom Savini to thank for the film's best scenes.

The Plot of this film is very similar to My Bloody Valentine. We have a brutal act of violence taking place many years ago. We have the first big social event scheduled in several years on the very grounds where the trouble took place. And we have a spooky killer chopping up victims left and right. Only instead of full mining gear, our Prowler is dressed in WWII era military fatigues.

The gore is by far the best thing this film has going for it. There are some DISGUSTING killings which look very much like they could be the real thing. Our killer loves to use his bayonet, a pitchfork, and a sawed-off double barrel shotgun on his victims. Most of the killings in the version I have are not mere snippets of knives piercing flesh. You see the killer slice and penetrate these victims until they aren't breathing any more. There is a tidal wave of blood spilled in this film. They saved the best for last, when we see just what a blast from a shotgun at point blank range can do to someone's face.

The film has some glaring dead spots, too. Character development is nearly non-existent, and the motivation behind the carnage is not defined by any logical means. Let me put it this way; I have absolutely NO IDEA why the killer committed these murders. I wonder if the writers even knew.

Gore fans will definitely need to see the uncut version of this film at some point in their lives. See this film out of a sense of duty, but don't expect a true classic.

There is also a sex scene involving some breast nudity that would have been too explicit within the Guidelines at 12A.'

The Rules of Attraction

The UK release is uncut for:

• UK 2009 Icon R0 Blu-ray at UK Amazon

However there is no record of cuts being waived on the BBFC database

• UK 2003 Warner R2 DVD

The BBFC commented:

A cut was required to a scene in which a teenage girl slits her wrists, on the grounds that the technique used is not widely known and is potentially more likely to result in death than the more common method.

Thanks to Daniel: Rewriting the Rules of Attraction

The video version was cut to remove a shot of Teresa Wayman cutting her wrist lengthwise with a razor because the BBFC considered it instructional depiction of a potentially lethal suicide technique. The shot in question only lasts a few seconds, so the distributor removed it and then slowed down the remaining footage to cover the gap left by the deleted shot and allow the Harry Nillson song Without You to play as it does in the uncut version. As a result the BBFC list a substitution cut of 1 min 34 seconds, the total amount of footage slowed to accommodate the cut.

The BBFC’s intervention did not really lessen the power of this crucial scene, but unfortunately when the film was screened recently on Film Four, whoever prepared the film for broadcast misunderstood the technical aspects of this cut, and instead removed the entire 1 minute 34 seconds the BBFC appeared to mandate deleting the suicide scene in almost its entirety. Accidental though it seems to be, it’ a crippling cut

Rumble in the Bronx

• Hung fan au
• Hong fan ou
• Red Bronx
• Zizanie dans le Bronx

The BBFC felt that the 15 for the cinema version was too lenient and imposed cuts for the 1997 video version & 1998 Pay-Per-View version (Front Row TV).  The 2002 Buena Vista DVD is the same cut version.

• A dare devil escape sequence showing Jackie Chan ducking flying glass from bottles smashed with a bat was cut in fear of imitation of using broken glass as a weapon.

The film has been re-edited for US/European markets. More for pacing and humour rather than for violence

From cuts details on IMDb:

The American version of Rumble In The Bronx is shorter that the original Hong Kong one. Here's what's the USA version is missing:

• The HK version opens with Jackie already in the airport. The US version runs the opening credits over footage of his plane arriving in New York.
• The scene in the HK print where 2 local punks, a Chinese and a black guy, extort some money before helping themselves to some goodies from beside the cash register is cut from the US version.
• The dialogue scene between Jackie and Anita Mui at Uncle Bill's wedding is shortened in the US version, and the performance of the wedding duet from 'Princess Chang Ping', by Tung Biu and Carrie Cain Sparks is missing.
• In the HK print, after Jackie trashes the first bunch of punks in the market, he delivers a lecture, in Cantonese, on Chinese martial Arts, which Anita Mui then declines to translate to the Western store workers.
• In the HK print, the morning after Jackie is sliced up by the broken bottles he returns to the market. There he confronts the same punks who extorted money from Uncle Bill, and sees them off with a mean stare. However, when the biker gang arrive, Jackie, apparently intimidated, calls the police rather than fight them himself. This whole sequence is cut from the US version.
• A scene in which the same two extortionists return to the market and Anita Mui tries, in vain, to scare them away with a mean look is cut from the US print.
• In the HK print, after Jackie trashes the street gang at their clubhouse, he delivers an impassioned speech telling them to do something worthwhile with their lives. This is shortened in the US version.

Rumpelstiltskin

Run Fatboy Run

• Run Fat Boy Run

The BBFC required no cuts of the 2008 DVD but it is not clear if this was the pre-cut cinema version

Run Fat Boy Run is a comedy about an emotionally confused man who leaves his pregnant bride-to-be at the altar and years later realises that he really should have married her. The film was classified '12A' for strong language and moderate sex references.

BBFC Guidelines at ‘12A’ state that ‘The use of strong language (eg ‘fuck’) must be infrequent’. Run Fat Boy Run contains three uses of strong language which were considered sufficiently infrequent to be acceptable at '12A' in a feature film of this length. A similar number of uses have been permitted in previous '12A' films such as Terminator 3. The film also contains some moderate sex references (including a fleeting reference to a 'threesome', which is not elaborated upon, and references to 'erectile dysfunction') but these were considered sufficiently lacking in detail to be acceptable at '12A' where ''Sex references may reflect what is likely to be familiar to most adolescents but should not go beyond that is suitable for them'.

Run Fat Boy Run also features some moderate language (eg 'prick'), some mild natural nudity and mild comic violence.

The BBFC commented:

This film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the company that the film was likely to receive an 18 classification but that the requested 15 certificate could be achieved by making cuts in one sequence, to remove sight of two teenage girls sniffing glue. When the finished version of the film was submitted, all sight of glue sniffing had been removed and the film was classified 15.
